Chapter 124 - The Missing Stem 2 (1/2)
While Professor Luo Xia took his time getting ready in the restroom, Kitty and Karen were trapped in an underground cell. To be exact, Kitty was in a different cell where she witnessed Karen's torturous adventure from a double-sided mirror. Of course, Karen's side could not see Kitty, but Kitty's side was similar to a transparent wall between the cells.
When Kitty was brought down by one of the guards, Zi Yan gave her an allergy shot and told her that they need to keep her for a few hours to make certain that the poison was totally cured. The placebo effect worked extremely well.
Zi Yan had her own thoughts in mind as she didn't like wasting her energy in making humans disappear. She detested the fact that such vicious people exist, but she could only punish them for what they've done to either her or her family. It's been a long time since she last made a move on someone.
This time, she was willing to give Kitty a second chance because she was tricked by Karen into doing this. Even so, she deserved to lose her beauty and that arm because she didn't consider the many other possible answers to the blackmailing. In order to teach her a deep lesson and attempt to make her a better person after this, Zi Yan decided to use Karen as an example.
After giving her the allergy shot, the guards shoved her into the cell and one of them stayed inside of it with her. Zi Yan said, ”little girl, you've yet to see this world full of ugly beings and worthless scrap. Let auntie teach you a lesson today that would broaden your eyes. Remember to hold your eyes opened for the entire time or else I would have that brother behind you to use force on you.” Kitty hugged her injured arm and nodded.
”Good,” Zi Yan walked into Karen's cell and signaled the other guard to bring the buckets of warm salt water and first aid kits. Then, the guard brought a chair for her to sit on while Karen remained chained against the stone wall.
Minutes ticked by and she had no signs of waking up anytime soon. As Zi Yan checked her watch impatiently, she ordered, ”splash her face.” The guard took the sanitized ladle and scooped a spoonful of salt water. His actions were quick and hence were the salt water that stung the shit out of Karen's wound.
Her eyes popped open and her mouth could only groan because of the lack of teeth. ”Whoops, did I wake you up from your sweet candy land dreams? Too bad you can't even suck on a lollipop.” Zi Yan looked at her long fingernails before peeling cold oranges. The oranges were icy cold, yet her nails were sharp enough to penetrate the thin layer. Before long, a fresh orange appeared and she ate it slice by slice.
”So, Karen Yin, do you have any idea why you're here? Ah, silly me, you can't even talk right now because your mouth hurts right? Oh wells, I'll cut it short and tell you that it is due to your stupidity and jealous heart. No matter how pretty a person's face could appear, beauty is about the inside not outside. But then again, you never had a pretty face, so your only option was to be the best you and obviously, you've failed beyond miserable.” She continued chewing on the orange slices slowly and made delicious m.o.a.ns when she ate them.
”Blackmailing someone is one of the lowest and most despicable actions anyone can execute. Not only did you use someone's weakness to set out what you wanted, you also used it to harm someone you disliked. What made this even more of a joke is the fact that the person did nothing wrong to you in her entire life and you were purely jealous of her.”
”Now that Kitty eliminated the reason for your low esteem or high confidence whatever the heck you want to call it, why don't you take a look at those horrifying cuts on your cheeks? Actually, this wasn't part of my plan, but your great friend decided to make you join her in the world of disfigured models. So, there you go. Those fresh, fancy cuts.”
The guard brought over a new mirror that has an enlarge effect. Karen tried to close her eyes and look away, but the guard forced her to face the mirror.
When she continued to have her eyes closed, Zi Yan said, ”Well, it's alright if you choose to see or not because I've decided to do you a favor and sew your eyes closed with some used needles that I found in the hospital.” She walked over to Karen and sanitized the blood-stained string and used needles.
”Don't worry. Since your mind has already been blinded by your ridiculous jealousy, you won't need these eyes anyways. People like you won't change. Since you're the production of Liang Yu Qing, you are one brainless seed just like her empty celled brain. Ah, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Susu's mother.”
”Oh! If you ever question why you deserved all this, you may want to ask your mother if you have the luck of meeting her again after this. Chances are less than 0.05%, but it's worth a shot.” Karen opened her eyes and stared at Zi Yan confusedly.
